Prepare a study on a the legal possibilities to enlarge the strict core zones of the Wollmatinger Ried – Untersee – Gnadensee Nature Reserve and report to the Secretariat by 2024. T-PVS/DE (2019) 10 - 4 - 2. Reject any proposals or plans aiming to eliminate naturally-built barriers like the so-called Schnegglisand and silting areas and to enable undisturbed natural processes without human intervention in a larger area, except in case of public interest e.g. flood protection. 3. By 2022 draft and adopt a management plan meeting the provisions and objectives of the European Diploma for Protected Areas and addressing the recommendations attached to the renewal of the Diploma. Attaches the following six recommendations: 1. In co-operation with the Swiss authorities, assess the possibilities to harmonise the regulations for the protection of nature at both shores and to extend the Wollmatinger Ried – Untersee – Gnadensee Nature Reserve to the state border in order to enlarge the water zone, which is especially important during low water periods in winter. 2. Pursue the efforts to improve the connections between protected sites in the hinterland and the Wollmatinger Ried – Untersee – Gnadensee Nature Reserve in connection with the extension of the trunk road B33, including the enlargement and/or adaptation of the nature reserve’s boundaries. Compensation measures should be continued and the construction has to be carried out with the least impact for the protected area. 3. End fishery in the most sensitive areas, mainly Schläuche and southern Hegne Bay, under the provisions of the bilateral treaty between Germany and Switzerland with the aim to improve the quality of the area as breeding ground, wintering place and moulting area. 4. Abandon the still existing cycle path between the B33 road and the protected area boundaries, which is only used by a limited number of cyclists, and include the path into the Wollmatinger Ried – Untersee – Gnadensee Nature Reserve to enable an efficient control. 5. Reduce or stop disturbances impacting on the protected area caused by leisure activities and sports through awareness raising and dissemination of information to boat rental companies, and to hot-air balloon and Zeppelin tour operators. 6. Strictly consider the boundaries of the protected area, their potential for further development and the need of sufficient buffer zones to meet the objectives of the protected areas when examining the further extension of building areas in the communities concerned. - 5 - T-PVS/DE(2019)10 Draft Resolution on the renewal of the European Diploma for Protected Areas awarded to the Wurzacher Ried Nature Reserve (Germany) CM Documents CM(2019) —————————————— …Meeting, ….2019 Sustainable Development Standing Committee to the Bern Convention Group of Specialists on the European Diploma for Protected Areas (T-PVS/DE) —————————————— Draft Resolution CM/ResDip(2019) … on the renewal of the European Diploma for Protected Areas awarded to the Wurzacher Ried Nature Reserve (Germany) (Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on … 2019 at the … meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies) The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 15.a of the Statute of the Council of Europe; Having regard to Resolution Res(65)6 instituting the European Diploma for certain protected landscapes, reserves and natural features, as amended by Resolution CM/ResDip(2008)1 on the revised regulations for the European Diploma for Protected Areas; Having regard to Resolution Res(89)11on the award of the European Diploma to the Wurzacher Ried Nature Reserve (Germany); Having regard to Resolution CM/ResDip(2009)4 on the renewal of the European Diploma for Protected Areas awarded to the Wurzacher Ried Nature Reserve (Germany); Taking into consideration the expert’s report presented at the meeting of the Group of Specialists on the European Diploma for Protected Areas on 5 and 6 March 2019; Having regard to the proposals of the Standing Committee to the Bern Convention; Noting that holding the European Diploma implies the maintenance of the exceptional European interest, the continuance of the exemplary management and the compliance with the provisions of Resolution CM/ResDip(2008)1 especially with regard to the obligations to report annually and to give appropriate visibility to the European Diploma; Renews the European Diploma for Protected Areas awarded to the Wurzacher Ried Nature Reserve, until 18 June 2029; Attaches the following condition to the renewal: By 2021, revise the 2007 management plan or draft a new management framework meeting the provisions and objectives of the European Diploma for Protected Areas and complementary to the Natura 2000 management plan in preparation.

  • In Memoriam 115
    IN MEMORIAM 115 • IN MEMORIAM CLAUDE WILSON 1860-1937 THE death of Claude Wilson within a few weeks of attaining his seventy-seventh birthday came as a terrible shock to his many friends. Few of us even knew that he was ill, but in the manner of his passing none can regret that there was no lingering illness. We can but quote his own words in Lord Conway's obituary: 'the best we can wish for those that we love is that they may be spared prolonged and hopeless ill health.' His brain remained clear up to the last twenty-four hours and he suffered no pain. The end occurred on October 31. With Claude Wilson's death an epoch of mountaineering comes to an end. He was of those who made guideless and Alpine history from Montenvers in the early 'nineties, of whom but Collie, Kesteven, Bradby, ~olly and Charles Pasteur still survive. That school, in which Mummery and Morse were perhaps the most prominent examples, was not composed of specialists. Its members had learnt their craft under the best Valais and Oberland guides; they were equally-proficient on rocks or on snow. It mattered little who was acting as leader in the ascent or last man in the descent. They were prepared to turn back if conditions or weather proved unfavourable. They took chances as all mountaineers are forced to do at times­ but no fatal accidents, no unfortunate incidents, marred that great page of Alpine history, a page not confined to Mont Blanc alone but distributed throughout the Western Alps.

  • JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK 2The Julian Alps
    1 JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK www.slovenia.info 2The Julian Alps The Julian Alps are the southeast- ernmost part of the Alpine arc and at the same time the mountain range that marks the border between Slo- venia and Italy. They are usually divided into the East- ern and Western Julian Alps. The East- ern Julian Alps, which make up approx- imately three-quarters of the range and cover an area of 1,542 km2, lie entirely on the Slovenian side of the border and are the largest and highest Alpine range in Slovenia. The highest peak is Triglav (2,864 metres), but there are more than 150 other peaks over 2,000 metres high. The emerald river Soča rises on one side of the Julian Alps, in the Primorska re- gion; the two headwaters of the river Sava – the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka – rise on the other side, in the Gorenjska region. The Julian Alps – the kingdom of Zlatorog According to an ancient legend a white chamois with golden horns lived in the mountains. The people of the area named him Zlatorog, or “Goldhorn”. He guarded the treasures of nature. One day a greedy hunter set off into the mountains and, ignoring the warnings, tracked down Zlatorog and shot him. Blood ran from his wounds Chamois The Triglav rose and fell to the ground. Where it landed, a miraculous plant, the Triglav rose, sprang up. Zlatorog ate the flowers of this plant and its magical healing powers made him invulnerable. At the same time, however, he was saddened by the greed of human beings.

  • Unique Geological Values of Mt. Teide As the Basis of Its Inclusion on The
    Seminario_10_2013_d 10/6/13 17:11 Página 36 Unique geological values of Mt. Teide as the basis of its inclusion on the World Heritage List / Juan Carlos Carracedo Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Abstract UNESCO created in 1972 the World Heritage List to “preserve the world’s superb natural and sce- nic areas and historic sites for the present and future generations of citizens of the entire world”. Nominated sites must be of ‘outstanding universal value’ and meet stringent selection criteria. Teide National Park (TNP) and the already nominated (1987) Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park (HVNP) correspond to the Ocean Island Basalts (OIB). The main geological elements of TNP inclu- de Las Cañadas Caldera, one of the most spectacular, best exposed and accessible volcanic cal- deras on Earth, two active rifts, and two large felsic stratovolcanoes, Teide and Pico Viejo, rising 3718 m above sea level and around 7500 m above the ocean floor, together forming the third hig- hest volcanic structure in the world after the Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea volcanoes on the island of Hawaii. A different geodynamic setting, causing lower fusion and subsidence rates in Tenerife, lead to longer island life and favoured evolution of magmas and the production of large volumes of differentiated volcanics in Tenerife, scant or absent in Hawaii. This fundamental difference provi- ded a main argument for the inscription of TNP in the World Heritage List because both National Parks complement each other to represent the entire range of products, features and landscapes of oceanic islands. Teide National Park was inscribed in the World Heritage List in 2007 for its natu- ral beauty and its “global importance in providing diverse evidence of the geological processes that underpin the evolution of oceanic islands, these values complementing those of existing volcanic properties on the World Heritage List, such as the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park”.

  • Quaternary Glaciation in the Mediterranean Mountains: a New Synthesis
    Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 30, 2021 Quaternary glaciation in the Mediterranean mountains: a new synthesis P. D. HUGHES* & J. C. WOODWARD Geography, School of Environment, Education and Development, The University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, UK *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The Mediterranean mountains were repeatedly glaciated during the Pleistocene. Gla- ciers were present in most of the major mountains areas from Morocco in the west to the Black Sea coast of Turkey in the east. Some mountains supported extensive ice caps and ice fields with valley glaciers tens of kilometres long. Other massifs sustained only small-scale ice masses, although this was the exception rather than the norm. Glaciers still exist today and there is evidence that small glaciers were a common sight in many regions during the Little Ice Age. The Mediter- ranean mountains are important for palaeoclimate research because of their position in the mid- latitudes and sensitivity to changes in the climate regimes of adjacent areas including the North Atlantic. These mountains are also important areas of biodiversity and long-term biological change through the Quaternary ice age. All of this provided challenges and opportunities for Palaeolithic societies. This paper reviews the history of the study of glaciation in the Mediterranean mountains from pioneer nineteenth century observations through to the detailed geomorphological mapping and advanced geochronological datasets of recent times. We also review the current state of knowl- edge to frame the contributions presented in this volume. Lastly, this new synthesis then identifies outstanding research problems and assesses the prospects for new studies of glaciation in the Med- iterranean mountains.

  • Teide Touches the Moon on May 14 on May 14 Teide’S Shadow Will Align with the Rising of the Full Moon
    This online broadcast will be directed by the astrophysicist Miquel Serra of IAC (Instituto Astrofísico de Canarias) Teide touches the Moon on May 14 On May 14 Teide’s shadow will align with the rising of the full Moon. Nature provides us with marvellous celestial spectacles. The never ending dance of heavenly bodies provides us with spectacular coincidences. On May 14 we will be able to enjoy one of these alignments, which will combine the majesty of Teide and the always spectacular full Moon. As always, on that day Teide’s shadow will project out toward the eastern horizon. The long shadow will cross the national park as the sun sets. When the king of the heavens is about to disappear behind the horizon, the volcano’s shadow will be seen in all its splendour. What is out of the ordinary is that in that precise instant the full Moon will appear right where the shadow is pointing. This phenomenon can be seen on May 14, and without a doubt the best place to enjoy it is from the summits of Teide itself. To celebrate this unique moment, Volcano Life Experience and Teide Cable Car have prepared a special activity that, among other things, will allow visitors to follow this phenomenon live from anywhere in the world. The astronomical event will be broadcast through volcanolife.com and will include commentaries and explanations by Miquel Serra, a researcher from the IAC (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias) and director of the Teide Observatory. The phenomenon will begin half an hour before the sun sets, at 19:30 GMT (Canary Island time 20:30 h, GMT + 1:00) when Teide’s shadow will begin to cross the national park toward the southeast.
